Driveshaft Angle Inspection
Special Tools:
CAUTION: Prior to checking driveline angularity, inspect the U-joints for proper operation.
1. Raise and support the vehicle.
^ Normalize the suspension.
NOTE: Use a drive-on hoist or back onto a front end alignment rack.
2. With the vehicle empty and all fluids full, measure where indicated and verify that the curb position ride height angle is within specification.
^ If out of specification, SEE alignment specifications, inspect the suspension and chassis.
3. Place the Anglemaster II Driveline Inclinometer flush against the driveshaft.
4. Record the reading and subtract the angle of the surface supporting the vehicle to obtain the correct driveshaft angle.
